.....thus the value of post-season play. Great kids and great players want to be part of a successful and visible program. We need to keep moving in the right direction and things will fall into place one day for an NC!

We have interest in a Mr. Football candidate in the state of Kentucky, Jake Chisholm a running back from Ryle High School. "Chisholm is small at 5-8 and 167 pounds, but he puts up big numbers for the Ryle High Raiders. Last season Chisholm rushed for 1,681 yards and 22 touchdowns on 188 carries and also had 31 receptions for 605 yards and four scores. Coach Mike Engler said his running back is receiving interest from Wofford, Eastern Kentucky and Navy."

He does look very small, and if he put on much weight could lose some of his shiftiness and quicks. Could he hold up against 290-pound DLs and 225-pound LBs? Perhaps we should be aiming for bigger and just as quick.

On the other end of the spectrum: we have keen interest in RB Stevie Scott from Albany NY (Christian Brothers Academy). 6'0-1" 225. Beast. 2 star.Number of D-1 offers including Rutgers, Purdue, UCF, BC, Buffalo, Syracuse, UMass.

We have offered CB Storm Duck from Boiling Springs High. 5'11" 180. His first offer. I understand Storm is great kid from a strong family and is always in the correct position. I know he camped with us and several others this summer including Duke.https://www.hudl.com/profile/7469045/storm-duck

Scott would be a great back for us. I think we had a DB from this school (Bernard Williams?) Not very impressed with the competition in the league, but Scott is without a doubt a big talent and would be a great fit for us; sort of a Miles Brown situation.

P.S. Just noticed Rivals calls Scott a three star and reports that he has verbally committed to Rutgers. Still time to do the right thing.
